Solemplex To me, this movie is perfection.

Deanna There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

petra_ste (MAJOR SPOILERS)Quick, horror fans, take this test:You and your significant other are trapped inside a deserted apartment building by a crazy old woman. To your credit, after a good hour of utter stupidity, you have finally managed to turn the tables on this not particularly formidable villain, who is currently screaming in pain with a mangled hand.Now... what do you do?!a) You incapacitate the murderous woman, tie her up and then GET THE HELL AWAY; b) You run around screaming hysterically, only to find out you are trapped inside the building, so you return to the old woman but... duh! She's gone! c) You untie a big, evil-looking man in a dark room, because you believe he's another victim. Oh, you tried to help him before, but he attempted to strangle you; d) You call the police or a friend, but are unable to give them coherent informations; e) You douse yourself and your spouse with gasoline and light a match; f) You take a nap on a blood-spattered carpet.If you didn't answer a), congratulations! If they ever do a sequel of this movie, you might be the protagonist.Jaume Balaguero is definitely no hack. All his previous works show directorial competence and the skill to create an ominous atmosphere. Para Entrar A Vivir starts out promisingly, but quickly degenerates into utter silliness. The script tips its hand far too early - once we learn the main villain (and, for a good chunk of the story, the only villain) is this undeniably deranged, but otherwise hardly intimidating middle-aged, bespectacled lady, the tension almost vanishes. People actively work to put themselves in danger, get bashed in the head a lot, do a copious amount of stupid choices, the killer is not dead, and yada yada yada. One is reminded of Balaguero's Darkness and Anna Paquin's terrible decisions. And the characters of Rec weren't exactly the pinnacle of human intelligence either.The fact is, Balaguero is so enamored with the atmosphere of a particular scene that he does not seem to care about its plausibility - his characters are dumb puppets, hamsters running on a wheel and working really hard to unleash the boogeyman.So, who decided horror characters NEED to be dumb? It's a lot scarier if you get the impression even smart, resourceful individuals would be in danger.And why should I be rooting for morons?5/10

Claudio Carvalho Mario (Adriá Collado) and his pregnant girlfriend Clara (Macarena Gómez) are trying to find in a short period a new apartment to live since they have sold their apartment and they need to move in fifteen days. When Mario finds an attractive advertisement in his mailbox, he convinces Clara to visit the place with him. He drives to a far area in the periphery and meets the real estate agent in front of an old building in an abandoned neighborhood. When the couple sees the apartment, they do not like it but they are forced to stay."Para Entrar a Vivir" is the weakest movie that I have seen from the excellent Spanish series "Películas Para No Dormir". The gore story has good performances, but the screenplay is awful, destroying a promising plot and transforming what could be a sort of "Misery" in a hysterical collection of unreasonable attitudes. For example, why would the couple leave their car in a rainy day to visit such dreadful building in an isolated area? They are in the control of the situation many times, but they always take the wrong decision or Clara is hysterical and let the insane lady revert the situation. My vote is five.Title (Brazil): "Morada do Perigo" ("Housing of the Danger")

bairdlet When it comes to movies, I scare easy. Real easy. I'm always the first idiot to scream in the movie theater- often I'm the only idiot screaming in the theater. I argue (unsuccessfully) with my fiancé to let me leave the lights on when we watch a horror flick at home. I flinch, I whimper, I cover my eyes with a throw pillow. At a showing of The Descent, I buried my face in my date's arm, only to have him yelp in confusion when I accidentally bit it in a moment of misplaced self-defense. I am a complete and utter wuss.So when I say that this movie was far too ridiculous to be even mildly scary, you can believe me. I mean, heck, it was entertaining; but more in a "you've got to be %@$#ing kidding me" kind of way. Twenty minutes into the movie, I wasn't scared; I wasn't even nervous. I was incensed. I was watching young, healthy, apparently intelligent people getting their behinds handed to them by someone who looked like the local children's librarian. There were a thousand and one ways that this could have been a much shorter movie. It might, just maybe, have been believable if the antagonist had been anyone who didn't look like she had just stepped out of an advertisement for maple syrup; or if her intended victims had been prepubescent (well, maybe not; that kid from Home Alone would have had her beat for sure)- or perhaps bunnies, or hamsters, or blind, deaf, and dumb geriatric pirates missing both their wooden legs. There was one point when two healthy young women- one a mother defending her child- are being menaced by the real-estate-agent-gone-bad. They are both armed (one with a cleaver, one with a taser) and safely positioned behind a metal grate. The real estate agent has just lost her dominant hand, and is clutching her bleeding stump to her chest as she cackles and pokes at them weakly through the grating with a lead pipe. This struck me as more irritating than terrifying and it seems to me that any normal person would simply relieve her of the pipe through means of a simple fulcrum (since she squatting and poking it through the grate down at you, just pull down and you'd have the pipe) and then proceed to smile up at her and calmly ask just what the hell she planned to do now. If the antagonist had been some kind of evil genius, it would have been a different story, but she wasn't; she was almost laughably predictable and run-of-the-mill movie crazy.One gets the feeling that this movie came to be because one of the writers lost a bet. "...ok, but if I win you have to write a movie about a crazy real estate agent in a little yellow raincoat. Oh, and dude, she has to look like your MOTHER."Still, if you found the killer bunny scene in Monty Python's Search for the Holy Grail to be funny (and who didn't?) you might enjoy it.

sharmari1 The movie is about an older woman of small stature that lures "strong" healthy young couples, and supposedly overpowers and terrorizes them. LOL Even if I were drunk as a skunk this woman would never be able to over power me, and I am 54 years old. LOL Yet, we are suppose to believe that this woman has repeatedly overpowered big strong men and their partners. The worst part, and most unrealistic, was that the big strong, aggressive man was afraid of this small older woman. LOL Of course, if you like being annoyed, then please, go ahead and watch it. But don't say I didn't warn you. This movie is suppose to be a thriller, but it is too absurd to even be scary! The movie is utter rubbish from start to finish.
